The Department of Child Health works closely with the Ronald McDonald House as many of our patient's families frequently utilize this amazing resource.

Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mom and dad close by for love and support.

Our Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their child at no cost. Our House is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is sick or injured the love and support of family is critical.
